There is shocking new evidence that

0:04

Google has interfered with

0:06

our elections, in fact, at

0:08

least forty one times

0:11

over the last sixteen years. That's

0:13

what the Media Research Center is now saying

0:16

in a new report that totally exposes

0:19

the bias and influence that

0:22

Google has over our elections,

0:24

with new accusations that they actually

0:26

could be changing the number of votes

0:29

by millions, tilting

0:31

the scales for the candidates that they choose.

0:34

Now, we've known for a long time that Google

0:37

has been biased, we had no

0:39

idea just how bias it was until

0:42

we found out that Google picked winners

0:44

and losers with major elections

0:47

in the United States of America forty one times

0:49

over the last sixteen years. No

0:51

organization has more control over information

0:54

than Google. That is a fact Google.

0:56

We now are there being accused of interfering

0:59

with major elections in the US

1:02

over forty one times. The

1:05

MRC research found forty one times

1:07

quote where Google interfer in elections over the last

1:10

sixteen years, and its impact has surged

1:12

dramatically maken even more harmful

1:15

to democracy. In every case, Google

1:17

harmed the candidates, regardless

1:20

of party, who threatened its left wing

1:22

candidate of choice. That

1:26

is what the MRC Free Speech America

1:29

Vice President dam Schneider and editor wrote

1:32

in a summary of their findings, quote

1:34

from the mauls of Google executives, the tech giant

1:37

let slip what was never

1:39

meant to be made public. That Google

1:41

uses its great strength and resources and

1:43

reach to advance its leftist

1:46

values. Google outsized

1:49

influence on information technology

1:52

the body of the politics

1:54

and the American election became

1:57

evident in two thousand and eight, after

1:59

failing to prevent ken for President

2:01

Donald Trump from being inaugurated. Following the twenty

2:04

sixteen election, Google has sense

2:06

made it clear to any

2:08

discerning observer that

2:10

it has been and will continue to interfere

2:13

in America's elections.

2:15

Google pushing back this morning, insisting

2:17

that it has a clear business incentive to keep

2:19

both sides happy and that safeguards

2:22

ensure non biased and accurate research

2:24

results well. MRC

2:27

Free Speech America division of the Conservative

2:30

Media Research Center believes the most recent example

2:33

was recorded after Google's artificial

2:36

intelligence Jemini, refused to answer

2:38

questions damaging to

2:41

President Joe Biden. The

2:43

group's research found that from two

2:45

thousand and eight through February of twenty twenty

2:47

four, Google has utilized

2:50

its power to help push for electoral

2:53

victory the most liberal candidates, regardless

2:55

of party, while targeting their opponents for

2:57

censorship. Examples,

3:00

which is what matters to all of us the most

3:02

include appearing to favor Barack Obama

3:04

over John McKennon in two thousand and eight, favoring

3:07

Obama over Mit Romney

3:10

in twenty twelve, refusing

3:12

to correct a Google bomb that smeared

3:15

then leading GOP primary candidate

3:17

for president Rix Antorum, using

3:20

its algorithm to exclude auto

3:22

fill results that were potentially

3:25

damaging to Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen,

3:28

not doing the same for then candidate Donald

3:30

Trump or Bernie Sanders, and

3:33

working with partners to help likely

3:35

pro Clinton Latino voters go

3:38

to the polls the same year. This according

3:40

to the New Bombshell Research.

3:43

Other examples cited include

3:46

disabling Tulsi Gabbard's ad

3:48

account just a just as she became

3:50

the most searched candidate following

3:53

the first Democratic primary

3:56

debate in twenty twenty, suppressing

3:59

new news critical of Joe

4:01

Biden, for example, and

4:04

concealing most Republican campaign

4:06

websites for the twelve

4:09

competitive Senate races in twenty twenty

4:12

two. Let me say that again. They

4:15

suppressed news this is

4:18

Google news

4:20

that was critical of

4:22

Joe Biden. At the same time

4:25

they were concealing most

4:27

Republican campaign websites for

4:30

the twelve most competitive

4:33

Senate races in twenty

4:35

twenty two. Okay, that's

4:38

very significant, and

4:40

aiding Biden in twenty

4:42

twenty four. They're now accusing them of by

4:46

burying in its search results the

4:48

campaign websites of

4:51

every one of his significant

4:53

opponents. And that's what's happening

4:56

right now in real time the

4:59

case study. He cites several other examples

5:01

as well of where Google is

5:03

tipping the scales, saying quote,

5:06

utilizing the many tools in its arsenal,

5:09

Google aided those who most

5:11

closely aligned with its leftist

5:14

values from election cycle to election cycle

5:16

sentence as far back as the two thousand and eight presidential

5:19

election. Meanwhile, it

5:21

targeted for censorship those candidates

5:23

who posed the most serious threat to

5:26

Google. While its interference

5:29

was first evident in twenty

5:31

two thousand and eight, its meddling

5:34

is turned into an organizational mission

5:36

to ensure that it's candidates win on

5:38

election day. Many

5:40

studies reveal the results of the tech giants'

5:43

commitment. They

5:45

also cited doctor

5:48

Robert Epstein, who performed additional

5:51

research and found that Google's search algorithms

5:54

likely shifted at least two point

5:56

six million votes to Hillary Clinton

5:58

twenty sixteen, and

6:00

that Google's results and get out

6:02

the Vote reminders favored Democrats

6:06

in targeting of them and shifted the twenty twenty

6:08

election results by at least six million votes.

6:11

They believe. So it's

6:13

not just that they're stifling

6:16

information that's positive

6:18

for conservative candidates and harmful

6:20

maybe to Democrats. It's the

6:23

fact that when they're out there in their algorithm,

6:25

they look at who they're marketing to

6:27

to get out the vote. So Google

6:30

is reminding liberal

6:33

voters those that are more likely to vote for Hillary

6:35

Clinton or a Bernie Sanders or Barack

6:37

Obama or Joe

6:39

Biden to get out the vote. Hey, reminding

6:42

you got to vote, reminding you to register to vote, reminding

6:44

you to register to vote and get out to vote, and remind you

6:46

to election tomorrow. They were reminding

6:48

Democrats, not Republicans, on purpose.

6:51

They believe the power because almost every

6:54

American that's on the Internet

6:56

uses Google. I use it every day. I think you probably

6:58

most of you listening right now. I use it every day. They

7:01

would have the ability to then remind those

7:04

voters who are Democrats. They have

7:06

all your data, They know who you are, they know who you

7:09

voted for, they know if you vote in the last elections,

7:11

and they know if you're registered to vote. They

7:14

would then market to you and

7:16

remind you to go vote, knowing that you're going to vote

7:18

Democrat over Republicans. This

7:21

new research says that they shifted the

7:23

twenty twenty election results by at least six

7:25

million votes. Google

7:28

is coming out this morning and Google spokesman

7:30

is denying quote any wrongdoing, which is exactly

7:32

what you would expect from them. By the way, quote,

7:35

there is absolutely nothing new here. Google

7:37

says a new statement just to recycle list

7:40

of baseless, inaccurate compt complaints

7:42

that have been debunked by third parties and many that

7:44

failed in the courts. Politicians

7:47

on the left have a long history of making similar claims

7:49

too. We have a clear business

7:51

incentive to keep everyone using our products. By

7:53

the way, that's not true. I'll explain

7:55

that in a moment. Google goes on to

7:57

say we have no desire to make them by

8:00

or inaccurate and have safeguards in place

8:02

to ensure this. Numerous conservatives have been

8:04

particularly successful in using our platform to

8:06

spread their message to a wide audience.

8:10

Google has said it restricted the types of

8:12

election related queries on Gemini out

8:14

of an abundance of caution. That's their

8:16

AI basically mothership, directing

8:19

users to Google Search instead.

8:22

As for Tulsea Gabbard's

8:24

ads, Google's pointed to a federal judge

8:26

just missing a lawsuit she filed against the company

8:29

on the matter, saying see nothing to see here.

8:31

The Conservative WATCHSDAW group deels that

8:35

this is an important issue that actually should be going

8:37

to Congress, saying that free

8:39

speech Americans offered three

8:41

recommendations of what should happen. They

8:44

say, Number one, Speaker Mike Johnsons should

8:46

direct relevant committees and committee chairmen

8:48

to investigate Google for basically

8:52

attacking and abridging the

8:54

people's constitutional rights in this country by

8:57

coordinating with government to

9:00

violate freedom of speech, as

9:02

well as interfering in elections by making unreported

9:05

in kind contributions to

9:07

the Democratic candidates, and

9:09

for defrauding its users by failing

9:12

to meet its terms of service. The

9:14

group also feels state legislators should

9:16

legislatures should resolve any questions

9:19

of whether Google is a common carrier

9:21

and urge Americans to stop using Google products,

9:24

particularly its search engine, saying

9:27

this from our research, alternatives appear to

9:29

be better to produce better,

9:31

less bias results. This

9:34

is significant, folks, and

9:38

Google, of course coming out, we're going to

9:40

deny it. Side note here if you

9:42

try to Google the story, it comes down halfway

9:44

through the page, not at the top. Just thought i'd

9:46

throw that in there. Yeah, so

9:49

you can decide for yourself if you think they're suppressing

9:53

information. I think it's pretty clear that they are.

9:57

Media Research Center has found forty

9:59

one different They say we're Google

10:01

directly interfered in elections and

10:04

it had a major impact and surged

10:07

dramatically of the side

10:10

they wanted to win. In every

10:12

case, Google harmed the candidates that

10:14

they wanted to harm, regardless

10:16

of party. Those who threatened

10:18

it's left leaning and left wing

10:21

candidates of choice. That is a new

10:23

accusation by the Media Research

10:25

Center. Free Speech America

10:27

Vice President Dan Snyder is

10:30

now going to join me to talk about this exact

10:32

detail. Dan, I appreciate

10:34

you coming on, and Google

10:38

is something that we know

10:40

is powerful for the left. We know

10:42

that they have an ally, we

10:45

know that they have suppressed just

10:47

basic search engine issues,

10:50

but this is the first time that we're actually

10:52

seeing what Google is doing directly to

10:54

interfere with our elections.

10:57

Tell us a little bit more about the background

10:59

in this and how you guys, we're able to find all this out.

11:01

Well. Look, Google has been actively

11:04

involved in elections for a long time, and

11:07

on a legal basis, their

11:09

president, CEO, Chamber of the Board

11:12

endorsed Democrats for office

11:14

all the time. Its employees have

11:18

largely given exclusively to the

11:20

left ninety plus percent of the time.

11:22

Under federal election campaign disclosure

11:25

requirements, you can see Google

11:27

statements have been all left wing. But what

11:29

we have not been able to see is what

11:31

they're doing with their one point seven

11:34

trillion dollar corporation behind

11:37

the scenes. You can't look

11:39

into their little black box of algorithms

11:41

and see exactly how they're working. But we've

11:44

been able to piece together lots of different things

11:46

and see the consequences of their

11:48

work, and time and time again,

11:52

the evidence shows that if you

11:54

are an opponent of their candidate

11:56

of choice, Google's going to bury

11:58

you.

12:00

So let's talk about how they pick winners

12:02

and losers here. And when you say they're going to bury

12:04

us, give us examples of what that actually

12:06

looks like. You're running for office, Google

12:09

doesn't like you, You're not their

12:11

candidate of choice. How much impact

12:13

can they actually have over your campaign?

12:15

Well, look, in the twenty twenty

12:18

two Senate races, there

12:20

were about a dozen Senate races

12:23

that were being hotly contested, and

12:25

we did a study, and we did this repeatedly.

12:28

We would search for, you know, the

12:30

campaign websites. We would simply search

12:32

for, you know, like Adam Laxalt,

12:35

you know, Senate campaign in Nevada,

12:39

and Google would not give you his campaign

12:41

website. But Google would certainly,

12:44

you know, turn over the website

12:46

of his opponent when you did the same search for

12:48

her, and over and over again,

12:51

ten out of the twelve Republican

12:55

Senate campaign websites would be

12:57

buried by Google, either not showing

12:59

up at all all, were showing up

13:01

way low in search results. But a majority

13:03

of the time, literally Google would not

13:05

produce the campaign website for the Republican

13:08

seeking the Senate seat in that in that

13:10

race. More recently, before

13:14

each of the four Republican presidential

13:17

campaign debates, We

13:19

did two searches. We searched

13:21

for Democrat

13:24

presidential campaign websites and

13:26

we then searched for Republican presidential

13:28

campaign websites. And look, we

13:30

expected to see Joe Biden at the top of the list

13:32

when we search for Democrat presidential campaign

13:34

websites, and he was every single

13:37

time, Joe Biden was at the top. But

13:39

guess what, our FK Junior didn't

13:41

show up at all. Google

13:43

buried RFK Junior's campaign website,

13:46

the single greatest threat that Joe Biden

13:48

winning the nomination. They buried a site.

13:51

But here I want to be clear,

13:53

though, it's not what you're saying. Is it's

13:55

not that Google is just out

13:58

to get conservatives or Republican candidates

14:00

that they don't like. It is

14:02

if you're not the candidate they choose,

14:05

even in the Democratic primary, if

14:07

they decide, hey, we like

14:10

this person more because they're going to be

14:12

better for us. We're going

14:14

to help you win even in the Democratic

14:16

races over other Democrats.

14:18

That's right, Tulca Gabbard RFK

14:20

Junior most recently, but even

14:23

going back to two thousand and eight, when

14:25

the young Senator Barack Obama was

14:28

challenging Hillary Clinton. Google

14:30

was bearing pro

14:33

Clinton blogs

14:35

and highlighting pro Obama blogs.

14:38

Wow, but here, let me get to this. But here's

14:40

the most shocking example here. When

14:42

we search for Republican presidential campaign

14:45

websites, well, just like we saw Joe

14:47

Biden at the top of the heap, we would have expected

14:49

to see Donald Trump

14:51

at the top of the heap. But not only was

14:53

Donald Trump's campaign websit not produced

14:55

at all by Google. It only

14:58

produced two campaign webs And

15:00

this is every single time we did this study.

15:03

The first one was Mary Ann Williamson,

15:05

a Democrat, again searching

15:08

for Republican presidential campaign websites.

15:11

One of the only two campaign websites that Google

15:13

would give us Marian Williamson's

15:15

campaign website, and the other was

15:17

Will Hurd, who was scoring zero

15:21

in the nationwide polling. But

15:23

Google would not give us Joe Biden,

15:26

the ak Ramaswami, Ron De Santis, Nikki

15:28

Haley, anybody else, any Republican,

15:31

just one Democrat and

15:34

one Republicans pulling at zero

15:36

percent.

15:37

You and I both know that in politics,

15:40

and my guests from me is Dan Schneider Media

15:42

Research Center. They do an amazing work

15:45

to expose what we're talking about right now,

15:47

you should check them out, help them, support them,

15:49

because they're doing amazing work and without

15:51

you, guys, they cannot get it done. So I want

15:53

to make that very clear. But you

15:55

talk about these moments

15:58

in politics where I can, it would surge.

16:01

Right.

16:01

Toulsi Gabbard is a great example. In the Democratic primary

16:04

when she was running for president, she had

16:06

a moment. And what happens

16:09

after a candidate has a moment is

16:11

people immediately go to Google to find out

16:13

more about the person or to even

16:16

you know, get involved in their campaign.

16:19

Talk a little bit about what they did to influence

16:21

and suppress her. For example, when she was running

16:23

as a Democrat.

16:25

Right, so, she did an

16:27

amazing job in a debate, and

16:30

the whole world suddenly was looking at Tulsi

16:32

Gabbard as an alternative to Joe Biden,

16:35

and right as she

16:37

was searching, right as everybody was interested

16:39

in her, Google burieder. They

16:41

eliminated her ads. Right when

16:43

you would need to be able to you know, when her

16:46

campaign needed to tell everybody who she is

16:48

and also to raise money, Google

16:51

eliminated her from search results.

16:53

What was the reasoning behind that that Google

16:56

gave for shutting down her ad accounts,

16:58

so she could not advertise when she had that

17:00

moment to people that maybe were searching for her.

17:02

You know, Google seems always to have these

17:05

glitches, and Google say, well, there

17:07

was just a glitch. There was a glitch when

17:09

Hillary Clinton's in two

17:12

thousand and eight, when Hillary Clinton's

17:14

you know blogs pro Clinton blogs

17:16

were suddenly buried, and there was just

17:19

some kind of a glitch with Tulsi Gabbard, And

17:21

there's just there's always a glitch. And

17:23

sometimes they don't have any responses at all. By the way,

17:26

in this most recent study of ours, Google

17:28

has said that every one of our forty

17:31

one examples has been refuted. That is

17:34

just a lie. You know. For

17:36

example, the the I

17:38

just told you about the presidential campaign searches

17:41

that we did where Donald Trump is completely

17:43

buried over and over and over. Google

17:45

has never refuted that. Nobody

17:47

has ever suggested

17:49

what we reported was wrong. So Google

17:52

just makes up stuff? Response,

17:55

was it all? Yeah?

17:56

Google pushback saying, quote, we

17:58

have a a clear

18:01

quote business incentive to keep

18:03

both sides happy, and that safeguards

18:05

ensure non bias and accurate search

18:08

results. That's a great

18:10

line written by a PR person

18:12

at Google, but it doesn't back up with the

18:14

facts. Is what you're saying.

18:16

Those are words. Those are mere

18:18

words. I can say the sky is green. It doesn't

18:21

make it so Google can say anything at once.

18:23

It didn't point to any evidence, you know,

18:25

to support the words that it spewed

18:27

out of its mouth.

18:29

Establishment Republicans have also

18:31

not fared well when they are the

18:33

nominee. An example of this is

18:37

it was obvious that Google was favoring

18:39

Barack Obama over John McCain in two thousand and

18:42

eight, more the establishment candidate. It

18:44

even screwed with Mitt Romney in

18:46

twenty twelve, refusing

18:48

to correct a Google bomb that

18:51

smeared the then leading GOP primary

18:53

candidate for president, for example, Rick

18:55

Santorum, with using

18:57

its algorithm to exclude auto results

19:00

that were potentially damaging to Hillary

19:02

Clinton. Explain that as well, these auto field

19:05

results and the other things.

19:06

Yeah, so let me just remind everybody

19:09

Rix Santorum was actually leading

19:11

among all Republicans in that in that primary,

19:15

and just as he was surging, there

19:17

was a thing, you know, it is a popular thing back then,

19:19

these Google bombs where people would

19:22

kind of create false websites and and

19:25

redefine a person

19:27

or an issue, and these Google bombs

19:29

were created that said the most heinous,

19:32

abhorrent things about Rix Sntorum.

19:34

Now, Google had a policy anytime

19:36

that some organization or some person

19:39

got bombed, Google would take down

19:41

those sites, you know, because it was

19:43

it was misinformation, it was false,

19:45

it was they were lies. When

19:47

it came to Rick Santorum, Google

19:50

refused to take down those Google bombs.

19:52

So if you tried to google Rix Sntorum and find anything

19:54

out about him, you were directed to these

19:57

false, inflammatory, libel

20:00

campaign sites that were attacking

20:02

him. Saying, again, you can't even say

20:04

these things, you know,

20:07

without being too embarrassed, because they're just

20:09

the most vile, disgusting things

20:11

that people were being told about. Falsehood's

20:13

about rix Andorum. I mean, just outright, you

20:16

know, fabricated stuff.

20:18

Dan, let me ask you another question about Google,

20:21

and this goes back to Mitt Romney

20:23

John McCain that I mentioned. What

20:25

we're seeing with Google is they're

20:28

not saying they hate Donald Trump and MAGA.

20:31

They're saying we hate anyone that's not our

20:34

guy, and every year that guy can

20:36

change. So we'll treat

20:38

Donald Trump the same way we treated Mitt

20:41

Romney or Rick Santorum or John McCain

20:44

if the person we want to win is

20:46

on the other side. So if you think

20:48

they're only being mean to like MAGA conservatives,

20:50

you're wrong. They want these

20:52

Democrat hardcore lefties to win

20:54

every election no matter what.

20:57

Yeah, that's right. And as we discussed

20:59

earlier, will include picking

21:01

you know, a more liberal Democrat

21:04

and suppressing a slightly

21:06

more you know, or less liberal Democrat.

21:10

And so they've got their candidate

21:13

of choice, and you better not be

21:15

the opponent otherwise you're gonna they're gonna

21:17

be hell to pay.

21:18

This isn't just on the national level

21:21

of presidential campaigns, and that's where

21:23

Google stops doing this. You guys

21:25

also looked at some of

21:27

the most competitive, the twelve most competitive

21:30

Senate races in twenty twenty two. What

21:32

did you find out when it came to Senate races?

21:35

Right, So, the so Google

21:39

buried you know, the Senate candidates

21:42

in those twelve competitive races every

21:45

time except for two for

21:48

whatever reason. You know, in

21:50

the Washington Prime. In the Washington

21:52

race the state of Washington, Patty

21:54

Murray actually fared worse

21:56

than the Republicans. But in every other

21:58

case, you know, the Republican was buried.

22:01

Now here's where it gets really really

22:03

interesting. It shows how clever Google

22:06

really is. People will recall

22:08

that there was a runoff in Georgia

22:10

where herschel Walker and his Democrat opponent

22:14

neither got fifty percent, when under Georgia

22:16

law, they had to go to a runoff. So

22:18

we went to Georgia and again

22:20

these are using clean computers, no

22:23

cookies, all that, and we went

22:25

to the precinct level again

22:28

looking for herschel Walker's campaign website

22:30

and looking for his opponent's campaign website. And

22:32

at the precinct level we discovered that those

22:35

precincts that were heavily Democrat

22:37

there was no bias, and those precincts

22:39

that were heavily Republican no bias.

22:42

But in the precincts that were going to toss

22:44

up precincts where the

22:46

Democrat needed votes to be able to

22:49

win beat herschel Walker, that's

22:51

where we saw the bias again. That's where herschel

22:53

Walker's campaign website was buried, but

22:55

the Democrats was elevated to the top of search

22:57

results.

22:59

It's incredible. Let's dive into how

23:01

much of an influence this actually could have had.

23:03

Because it's one thing to give the accusation and

23:06

to show that proof, but then to talk about

23:09

how much of an impact that could this have had on

23:11

our elections. You guys worked

23:13

with doctor Robert Epstein, who performed

23:16

additional research and found that Google

23:18

search algorithms likely shifted

23:21

millions of votes just

23:24

to Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen alone,

23:26

for example, and then you found even

23:28

after that, even more votes. We're talking

23:30

about millions that would have favored

23:32

Democrats in twenty twenty. Dive into

23:35

that for us, right.

23:36

So, doctor Epstein is a PhD

23:39

statistician. He did all of his work

23:41

at Harvard. He is a liberal

23:44

himself. He is a self proclaimed Democrat.

23:47

He admits he voted for Hillary Clinton.

23:49

He is not a partisan. He is not

23:52

doing this work to try to help Republicans. He's

23:54

just very concerned about democracy.

23:57

So he yea his research and is

23:59

very sophisticated. It's seen how

24:03

Google interacts with users, what kind

24:05

of results are produced, and how

24:07

that alters people's behavior. So

24:09

he is estimated in the twenty twenty election alone,

24:12

anywhere from six to eight

24:14

million votes were swayed against

24:17

Donald Trump in favor of Joe Biden

24:20

nationwide six to eight

24:22

million. Had it not been for Google,

24:25

it would have been a landslide victory for Donald

24:27

Trump. And let

24:30

me just reiterate, Doctor Epstein

24:33

is a liberal, and he's testified before

24:35

Congress he has no interest

24:40

in seeing Republicans win races.

24:43

He only cares about the rights of the

24:45

voter and to have that voter's votes

24:47

be counted fairly.

24:49

Talk about the amount of influence

24:52

so people understand. I mean, I look,

24:54

I use Google every day. You guys

24:56

are now saying it's time to use another search

24:58

engine because of what they're doing. I

25:01

totally support that idea,

25:03

but the reality is overwhelming.

25:06

The majority of Americans go to Google for pretty

25:08

much anything they need to search. How much

25:12

penetration and market share does Google have

25:14

over the American voter?

25:16

You know, there are different numbers. It's anywhere

25:18

from ninety three to ninety six. Ninety

25:20

seven percent of all search is done,

25:23

you know, using the Google search engine.

25:26

Yeah, and it's got so many other products

25:28

too, like Google News. And this is

25:31

another shocking thing. There's

25:34

one legitimate outfit out there that sort

25:36

of rates media outlets of whether they're left

25:39

of center or right of center. It's called All Sides.

25:41

It's a reliable organization. We don't always

25:44

agree with them, but they're pretty good

25:46

all using All Sides data,

25:49

you can see that Google News. If

25:51

you're searching anything about Trump, Biden

25:54

or elections, Google News would

25:56

link to zero zero

26:00

right of center media outlets,

26:02

almost exclusively to

26:05

left wing outlets. Occasionally

26:07

some some what are called neutral outlets.

26:09

But yeah, Like, if you're searching on

26:12

Google News for stories about the election, ninety

26:16

seven percent of

26:18

the articles that were linked to were

26:20

to left wing outlets

26:23

Donald Trump and Joe Biden. If you're looking

26:25

for stories of on Google News about

26:27

either of them, again, zero percent,

26:30

you know, linked to conservative outlets. The

26:32

great bulk were linked to to left

26:35

of center or left wing outlets. This

26:37

is what Google. This is how Google News and Google

26:40

more broadly influences the

26:42

mind. People think they're learning, people

26:44

think they're getting information news, they're

26:46

only getting Google propaganda.

26:49

Lastly, what are you guys asking

26:51

Congress to do? I know there's been conversations

26:54

with Speaker Johnson about

26:56

this because this seems like this would fall

26:58

under an in kind contribution

27:00

to democratic candidates. What Google is doing?

27:03

Is there a chance that we could see some sort

27:05

of significant reform here to make this

27:08

not happen every single election cycle.

27:11

Yeah, Ben, I

27:13

want to make sure people understand this is shocking.

27:16

The media has an exception here. So let's take

27:18

the media out of it. Your media, so

27:20

you're not a part of what I'm about to say. But

27:23

today in America, you're

27:25

an individual. You do not

27:27

have free speech rights. If

27:29

I want to say something political and

27:32

I want to promote what I

27:34

am saying, So like, let's

27:36

say I write a speech and I want to

27:38

send my speech about

27:41

a candidate or about a policy

27:43

matter, and I want to send it to a thousand

27:45

friends, and I print out my speech to send

27:47

to a thousand friends. By law,

27:50

I am required to file with a

27:52

federal election commission. I have to log

27:55

my speech, and if I don't, it can

27:57

be considered a crime. It can be fine

28:00

by the federal government for speaking,

28:03

for trying to amplify my voice.

28:05

But if you're Google today, the Federal

28:07

Election Commission says it can do whatever

28:10

it wants. It can bury, it can use

28:12

its resources, it's fast resources,

28:15

it can bury campaign websites. It can treat

28:17

the Democrats far better than the Republicans.

28:19

And it's not considered a campaign contribution,

28:22

it's not considered an in time contribution, and

28:24

there's no filing required. Today,

28:27

big tech has far

28:29

more free speech rights than I do.

28:32

Unbelievable. If people want to get

28:34

this report and want to find out more, where

28:36

can they go?

28:37

Dan Right, So the media research

28:39

centers big publications

28:42

called NewsBusters NewsBusters

28:44

dot org. You can go there to find

28:46

this report. You know the study. It's

28:49

about a twenty page study documenting

28:51

you know, these forty one times over sixteen

28:54

years that Google has interfered in our elections.

28:56

This is going to trickle out. I have

28:58

a feeling more. I'm going to cover it all

29:00

for you. Make sure that you download

29:03
